Dagwood sandwich shop mentioned in Blondie strip

Last week, I told you that Dean Young was opening a sandwich shop franchise. The story is getting good play in newspapers.  Interestingly, did you notice Saturday’s strip talked about Dagwood opening up such a store?

The sandwich shop now has a web site too.

Shameless commercialism.

If you’re quiet, you can hear Watterson screaming.

Now if only Scott Adams would start a soul-crushing corporation that produced some kind of shoddy vaguely computer-oriented products.

You guys sound like cult converts spewing out the party-line. Did Watterson or Adams give their cartoons away for free? We can buy some pretty funny Dilbert calendars. I’ve seen plenty of Calvin and Hobbes T-shirts. A Dagwood sandwich is defined in the Random House Unabridged Dictionary as “a thick sandwich filled with a variety of meats, cheeses, dressings, and condiments. Also called Dagwood.” It also states the the origin is “named after Dagwood Bumstead, a character in the comic strip Blondie.” A Dagwood sandwich shop is a reasonable encore to the comic strip. And what’s wrong with making money? After all, it drives our existence. If you don’t believe that, join Castro or Che … or some other failed communist revolutionary.
